Made to Wait
Title:  Made to Wait
Description:  This picture illustrates the benefits of ownership. KCS owns the Laredo International Bridge, so the UP train you see in the background will wait for a while longer to cross into Mexico even though it arrived a long time before the KCS train in the foreground. Two other UP trains would wait with the background train for this KCS stack train to cross.
